Angelina Jolie beats younger rivals Jennifer Lawrence and Kristen Stewart to be crowned Hollywood's highest paid actress
|
She has the next generation of big screen talent nipping at her heels but Angelina Jolie has proved she’s still got it as she’s crowned Hollywood’s highest paid actress.
Forbes reveal that the 38-year-old star pocketed a cool $33 million between June 2012 and June 2013.
That figure is $13 million more than her earnings last year, giving Angie the top spot above a wealth of talent on Forbes annual list of Hollywood's Highest Paid Actresses.

Angelina’s achievement is made even more impressive considering she hasn’t been seen on the cinema screen for three years, since her critical flop The Tourist in 2010.
Instead the mother of six has been concentrating on her directing and writing career with her film In The Land of Blood and Honey debuting in 2011.
